A Respectable Actress

India Hartley is a well-known
actress who has decided to tour the southern portion of the United States,
performing plays at various locations.
Her first stop is Savannah, Georgia, and it may be her last. During the play, one of the actors is shot
and India is seen holding the smoking gun. She has a fan who hires India the best lawyer
in the state, Philip Sinclair. He
believes his client is innocent, but must find proof. The plot is a bit more complicated than he
initially thought, drawing in someone from his past. While spending time with Philip, India falls
in love with him. Sometimes he seems to
reciprocate those feelings, but at other times he is aloof. As India’s trial takes place, she puts her
trust in Philip. While trying to prove
India’s innocence, Philip also must struggle with his feelings about someone
from the past before he can proceed with his future.

I did enjoy the scenery and time
period in which this story was set. This
story tries to add some mystery to liven it up, but it just didn’t work for
me. It was very predictable, and I found
the main male character, Philip, cold and distant. I really didn’t connect with the lead female
character, India, either. Philip put his
faith in the law and India believed Fate gave her a second chance at life. There was no mention of God or any type of
relationship with Him. I could have
picked this book up from a secular publisher just as easily as I did from
Thomas Nelson. I am disappointed in the
lack of faith issues with this book as well as some other recently released
books from this publisher.

My rating is 3 stars.

Why we do what we do

When this blog began it was during a time of raising my sons and care taking for ailing inlaws. Before those seasons ended this blog morphed into writing reviews and interviewing authors. With the constant change in the Christian publishing industry and our society, our purpose expanded.

With my girlfriend coming alongside, we review all sorts of novels, hunting for sound stories. While there are a couple genres we will not review for several reasons, we remain open to looking into new opportunities to read and share about good books!

In all of what we do we aim to bring glory to God and Christ Jesus in the ministry of blogging which we believe He has blessed us to do. We are always amazed that we get to wake up and do something with such profound joy each and everyday.
